Shane Thomas and Prashant Satoskar did not know each other 2 years ago. Shane and Prashant met at an apartment educational/mentoring group meeting. They immediately recognized that by working together it would make their investing partnership stronger. Both guys brought in strengths to the team. Today, they own 3 large apartment buildings. To go bigger (more units) and go faster (shorter time frame) - it’s important to meet as many fellow investors that share your common goals. Networking within the apartment investor community is critical. If you are looking for equity, vendors, or partners; it’s important to attend and network with as many qualified folks as possible. In many markets within the country, trying to win a deal is super competitive. Sometimes, you are not the original choice of the seller. Shane and Prashant discuss winning and closing two deals AFTER they were not originally chosen. Coming in second may feel like coming in last…but many times, the original buyer cannot perform. Keep the faith.
